Downloaded music

[PFG]

<font color='#000000'>I just bought a Marantz 5300 AV receiver.  I now would like to be able to listen to my downloaded music (that is currently on my computer) through this receiver.  Is there a cable I can connect to both systems that will allow me to listen through the stereo?  What is the best way to do this?

thanks</font>

<font color='#000000'>Do not know about the hook-up, but why don't you burn a cd!</font>

<font color='#000000'>Here is one cheap way, I have one and it works great for both audio out and in from the computer.

Here is one exspensive way, there are other brands for this way too

I would go with the imic for $35 if your computer is near enough for even a long run of stereo cables. Some of these other units cost $400 or more.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Oh well, I went back to buying cd's to support the musicians. I just got to feeling like I was stealing, on top of the fact that I feel the people that make the music I like deserve to be paid for their work!

Plus, for some reason, there would be this &quot;rip&quot; sound during some songs. Don't know how to describe it, but it was not cool. Sound quality was top-notch though.</font>

<font color='#000000'>I've got a CD of music burned from the internet &amp; have listened to several others. I find the variance in quality too disturbing. Some sound good but others sound like they were recorded through a pillow.</font>
